Anyone remember when Nvidia obsoleted $800 video cards with 'twice as powerful, twice as efficient'on a yearly basis?
Remember when Microsoft made operating systems that fit on a single CD or better yet, 13 floppy disks? Remember when windows update didn't turn itself on, when new windows firewall rules weren't magically created, when outlook didn't tell people you were online?
Remember when Oracle made and supported database software that was actually better than it's competitors? It ran on your own hardware and did not cost a small country's GDP per license?
AI bagholders are getting a lesson retail gamers and small business sysadmins have been suffering for decades with tech bros toying with supply, using convoluted licensing, prioritizing manufacturing to artificially inflate hardware prices. Retail trader bros have a bit more weight behind their punch so this will be an interesting hardware cycle.
